Turn your rut into a groove.

am--7.5 Barefoot warm-up and run into Green Springs. Ran w/ Sierra and Megan. They are committed and working hard, and it shows. Sierra and I added a bit, backtracking for a few other girls. 

am--5.5 Tortoise run w/ the kids and some form drills after w/ the girls. Club went great. Races today. 

pm--8 Cove Wash West w/ Tom. Freakin' hot. Glad I took a water bottle. This run is a pretty steady incline out. In fact, my watch said the accumulated elevation was 1882 feet. I'm not sure it's that much climbing. Maybe time to troubleshoot the watch. Good run to have done. BTW, we saw a big effin' rattlesnake--standard western diamondback. He must've been ~3.5 feet long.

am--11.5 Before practice I ran 5 w/ neighbor Greg. At practice, after the warm-up, we ran up to City Wells. It was a terrible run for me. My legs had nothing in them. I even had to resort to walking a handful of times. Depressing. I'm not sure what my deal is. The suspicion is that the triple-digit temperatures last night and fairly warm temperatures this morning have just zapped me. I'll rest the remainder of the day and see what happens. 

pm--3.5 I had to get my confidence back, so I eased into it. Treadmill miles--1 warm, 2 @ MP, and .5 cool. Felt pretty good despite the pit stop at the beginning. 

I was pretty dehydtrated yesterday. 1 maybe 2 trips to the WC to get rid of something the color of apple juice. 

am--6.5 Ran up into the desert from Middleton park. Twas fun. Ran up w/ Willie and Casey then back w/ the girls. Felt a ton better today. Note to self: stay hydrated during the hot summer training.
